3. “In just a few years, if we do not change the trajectory, we will
lose our qualitative and quantitative competitive advantage.”
General Joe Dunford 2017
Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff
If we don’t change – if we fail to adapt – we risk losing the
certainty with which we have defended our national interests
for decades. We risk losing a high-end fight.
General Charles Q. Brown 2020
U.S. Air Force Chiefs of Staff

4. “I’m not interested in a linear progression into the future (with)
incremental improvements, That will end up in defeat on a future
battlefield. What I’m talking about, call it 10X, leap-ahead, (is)
radical improvement in current capabilities.”
General Mark Milley
Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff
